First Round, Game 3: Inter-Spectacular Hyper Galactic Great C&G Brigade (of DOOM) vs. The Joneses

Just talked with Gobi. An answer will be posted by him in the next 2-3 hours or so.....

 

update: answer will be posted before midnight....give it your best shot gobi...

 

This is tough. Going with the notion that 8th Graders can only name a handful of Presidents my team and I figure very recent Presidents also made the list. We've narrowed it down to Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan. With two more answer left on the board I have a good feeling they may both be up there. Originally I was going to say Clinton but considering that Reagan's death in 2004 was major media event I think 8th Graders would remember still in 2005. It's a logical answer I just hope he's up there.

I'm going to say Ronald Reagan.

 

Also, in the overall scheme of things, Reagan is greater, at least according to the poll I read which had him listed as the 6th most important president of all time.

 

For the steal ... show us ... Ronald Reagan!

1. JFK_________________ 29
2. George Washington_ _ 22
3. ____________________
4. Ronald Reagan___ ___ 11
5. Abraham Lincoln_____ 07
6. FDR_______________ _ 05

Bank Value: 74

And for the second time in as many chances, the Joneses have stolen the bank from the Brigade of DOOM. That increases the Joneses' lead to 143-0.

But, the point values double next round, so in no way is C&G out of this. New round in a jiffy!

First, show us the missing answer!

1. JFK_________________ 29
2. George Washington_ _ 22
3. Bill Clinton________ __ 18
4. Ronald Reagan____ __ 11
5. Abraham Lincoln_____ 07
6. FDR_______________ _ 05

[audience_in_unison]Bill Clinton![/audience_in_unison]

 

The Score is The Joneses 143, Inter-Spectacular Hyper Galactic Great Census & Games Brigade (of DOOM) 0


Captain_Typho, Luigi, an important question is coming your way.

The Point values are doubled.

For this question, we surveyed 100 Americans.

The top five answers are on the board ...

1. __________
2. __________
3. __________
4. __________
5. __________

And the question has been PMed

 

Well, I guess we were safe either way. Good reasoning team!

 

I had that entire board figured out. It's sad that I remember 8th grade so well. From the classics of Washington and Lincoln, to the greatest generation and FDR, to the "saint"ly depictions of Kennedy in Middle School history books, to the topical Clinton and Reagan. **sigh**.

 

We let you have the first two rounds to make it more dramatic.

BaSSiL, Name a type of fish you order in a restaurant

 

I'll go with something that EVERY ONE in one of my classes, and that's about thirty people, would've said. So, if it's not up there at least we'll know this question is region specific:
